@Drenai Then don't use Obect.fromEntries, and use the code from my main answer instead of the one from the comment. The code that builds an object literal was in response to Sat Thiru, who gave the case that the keys are strings.

@SatThiru In that case, use JSON.stringify(Object.fromEntries(map.entries())) and new Map(Object.entries(JSON.parse(jsonText)))

@SatThiru An array of tuples is the customary representation of Maps, it goes well with the constructor and iterator. Also it is the only sensible representation of maps that have non-string keys, and object would not work there.
